ABSTRACT

Once interviewers and interrogators have experience in the process, most cases become rather routine. While the pressure of legally and successfully concluding a case is still present, interviewers occasionally run across problems they have not faced before. During our training programs we are often asked recurring questions. This chapter discusses those questions, the underlying reason for the problem, and suggested responses to the problem. Understanding the strategy of the suspect and the needs an individual has during an interview or an interrogation helps in selecting the proper counter move.
